Still Game star Jimmy Martin's daughter explained how her dad got his big break as an actor.
The family of Still Game veteran Jimmy Martin reckon the King must have had a translator to have included their dad in the latest honours list.His daughter Jennifer said: “We are wondering if they maybe have a translator at Buckingham Palace because I can’t imagine Camilla and Charles are very fluent in Craiglang.
Jennifer said: “He’s such a modest man so not many people realise he’s done all that charity work. He was also a firemen for many years with the Partick Fire Brigade and worked on the St Mungo Fireboat, dealing with fires up and down the river.” Still Game director Michael Hines said: “I can’t think of a more deserving recipient than him. I’m honoured to call him a friend and I’m amazed he hasn’t received something like this already.” Creator Greg Hemphill, who played Victor McDade, said: “I’m thrilled for Jimmy, what a life he has led. As Eric he was our resident auld yin and an integral part of the cast. Everyone loves and admires him.
